I'll try to keep it updated :)

The availability can be incorrect because it is very hard to know that for sure.
If you know any other board and it's not in the list then post it and I'll add it as soon as possible ;)

P.S. Maybe make it a sticky?

[stone_cold_Jimi]

Nice one. Conroe and SLI seems to lose out to Conroe and Crossfire. Looks like the 975X chipset and Crossfire is the safe bet. Pity I've so many nVidia cards!

Asrock 775Twins-HDTV R2.0 - supports DDR as well, will be good for those upgrading from an a64, the next asrock dual sata2?

[5-Clicks]

Nice list, Skyline GT-R :up:

Can't the 975x chipset run SLI...just nVIDIA doesn't officially support it? I know that's true for the 955x chipset and I thought I it was true for the 975x too.

[\Karting_freak]

dfi will have another board oskar wu is working on ;)

asus p5wd2-e premium rev1.3 and p5wdg2-ws rev 1.03G also support conroe. i'll specify rev tomorrow. will also show the results if i get the right rev

asus also has p965 chipset mb. cant remember the name.

hehe, doin the same over here ^^ adding the missing :D do you have any further Infos on them? overall specs, Pics etc?

and: the MSI Q965M, what does the "Q" stand for? "G" is for integrated Graphic, "P" for "Perfomance", but "Q"? :confused:

[Skyline GT-R]

Most of those motherboard are from the HardwareZone (www.hardwarezone.com) CeBIT special :) There you find some specs and pics :) And the Q965, have no idea ;)

[Johnny Bravo]

what about the albatron PX975X board (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=30298)?

[Skyline GT-R]

Well, I am not sure that board does support Conroe, I believe FreeCableGuy had one and it was a no go with his Conroe ;) But I can't find that post...

[Xiled]

Nice post! I think I go for the P5B :)

[davefr]

Great thread especially with the links. Can it be made a sticky?

It would be good if a column could be added showing sources of availability/price when these boards start showing up.

I am working on that, but that info is very hard to find... I can tell you none of those boards are available except the Bad Axe, but not all are Rev 304... And the 965 board are expected to be released end of june ;)

Great last, cant wait to get my hands on a DFI s775, anyone kno the release date for the DFIs? I heard the RD600 Chipset supports DDR3 RAM (on the new Conroe mobos). I also found an article that DDR3 may be ready to buy in 06 while another site said 07, 08.

Mass Production of 975X in June, RD600/SLI in August. Hopefully that means we will get them in those same months.

RD600 is supposed to support DDR3 (source) (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=980), as you can see, the dfi roadmap shows DDR2, so I am wondering if DDR2 and DDR3 are implemented on the chipset.
I'm sure DFI will go DDR3 when it makes sense (ie the performance is there and the pricing/availability)

Geil is showing off a DDR3 sample at Computex in June. I say we see it by the end of the year, but that is just an educated personal guess.

This is gonna be fun :)

Nice infos. :toast:

[[TAG]Imp]

might I suggest only linking the ones that are availiable for purchase, at least for now? It would be easier for people trying to buy...

[Evilsizer]

looking at the asrock mobos ATI-200 and the 865 boards. i wonder if conroe will be better off with DDR vs DDR2. The only down side is the 865 is AGP not pci-e and the ATI-200 might not be a good ocer. Time will tell, im looking at the ati-200 as i have some left over DDR. The only bigger down side with the asrock mobo's is the lack of BIOS cpu voltage options. That will leave us with "Penning" the cpu for more voltage.

P5B Deluxe Sucks.

[ost_2005]

I think dont need to put 965 series on the table.

Because they all support Conroe,no matter which vendor is.

[Evilsizer]

In a head off given same video cards and the difference being 965 vs 865 you saying the ddr2 is going to be faster at stock speeds?
With the tigher timing of DDR i find that hard to grasp that the ddr2 system would be faster. Given how dothans favored the tighter timing of DDR vs DDR2. as i said though all we can do is wait and watch, the ati-200 was only in option if conroe @stock was faster with ddr vs ddr2 with the pci-e for my 7900gt.
Yea i would go for a 965/975/985 but on a budget with some older parts laying around why not 865?
its nothing but options for those who have some hardware they are not ready to get rid of. I know nothing in performance is going to match true intel chipsets. You never know what might suprise us in either SIS/ATI/NV for chipsets.
As much as i like Asus, i want to see a H to H with the Abit/DFI boards.

P5B Deluxe Sucks.

400 fsb will be enough for 75%+ XS users

[ost_2005]

:nono:

Absolutely not.

400FSB is far enough for conroe.

I guess Conroe can be Oc 500Mhz FSB.

400FSB is very normal for High end MB.

So why I pay the more money to buy P5B deluxe?

Why the **** isn't DFI going to do a i975x LP board??? wtf?

Charlie, maybe because DFI board (as usual) will be way overpriced than ASUS's. After all, they had the most expensive 875P board, yet the P4C was even better (as usual).

[Shpoon]

Why the **** isn't DFI going to do a i975x LP board??? wtf?

Hey, if they pull out a good NF board, I'll be happy...

On that note, does anyone know what NF chipset will be used for the DFI LP UT Nvidia board?

And what're your thoughts about this:

Buy all the stuff I want for a new computer, come end of july, buy a E6600, and inifinity.

When the expert/nf comes out, I buy that, ebay my other board.

Is that possible, or would it take too long to get my hands on the parts?

Edit: And will a Jing Ting Force chipset cooler fit on any of them (speculation only) or just the nvidia one?

[Ender17]

P5WD2 WS rev 1.03G (not 100% sure) - 975X - ATX

You are doing the same thing I am doing, getting the infinity or other cheap/good 975x board until the dfi's come out (then i will decide between asus and dfi)

Jing Ting should fit

Why the **** isn't DFI going to do a i975x LP board??? wtf? No clue. All we know is that it's going to launch in trademark late fashion.

Who on earth says 400Mhz sucks ? If you've seen what prices DDR2-1000 is going at you'd be aching for some DDR2-800. As an example, 2GB perfectly good DDR2-800 ocable to DDR2-1000 costs ~$250.

2GB of DDR2-1000 costs ~$425 !!!!

With some of the prices I've seen you can 4GB of DDR2-800 for the price of 2GB of DDR2-1000.

939 for 1.5 months? not worth it to me

xs is definitely not dead, infact its probably as active as ever and when conroe officially hits and k8l comes it will only be more so.

Get your post count up (please don't spam though) to 100. You will then have access to the For Sale section, I can say with fair certainty that you probably will see a fair share of Conroes for good prices several weeks before the release. They will be Engineering Samples though

[twisted5]

Nice list there Skyline. I personally am going to wait for the RD600 board from DFI. May end up picking another one up before then though to hold over the "need" for Conroe :)

Alright, thanks for the advice. However, I'll most likely rather buy retail, since I don't know how this'll turn out...

*crosses fingers I hope the DFI boards can do a high FSB....

I know ht release date is 1.5 months away..I was just worried about when the common man can get one ;)

Maybe I'll just sit and wait for actual reviews in the next few weeks to see how it turns out.

Mass Production of 975X in June, RD600/SLI in August. Hopefully that means we will get them in those same months.

RD600 is supposed to support DDR3 (source) (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=980), as you can see, the dfi roadmap shows DDR2, so I am wondering if DDR2 and DDR3 are implemented on the chipset.
I'm sure DFI will go DDR3 when it makes sense (ie the performance is there and the pricing/availability)

Geil is showing off a DDR3 sample at Computex in June. I say we see it by the end of the year, but that is just an educated personal guess.

This is gonna be fun :)

Seems to be a question as to weather or not DDR2 and DDR3 are pin capatable

Some people have spen7 a lot of money on GPUs and RAM the past few years. New top-of-the-line GPU and DDR2 could run over <$800.

Hmm. Is it just me, or does it look like the ASus P5B Deluxe (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=307&model=1179&modelmenu=1) has 2 PCIe x16 slots?
I thought the 965 chipset didn't allow for that.

It looks like a sweet board. 8 phase power, heatpipe dealie, plenty of PCI, DDR2-800 support, and it's ASus! This may be my Core 2 Duo board of choice.

I don't think the board is wired for 2x16 electrically. Just as the Badaxe has 3 x 16 slots, but first is wired for 16, second for 8 and the last is wired for 4...

With all these black PCB's coming out, it's like Henry Ford once said, "You can have any colour you want, as long as it's black."

I must say, motherboard manufacturers are getting much better at colour co-ordinating their mobo's, with the exception being the DFI Infinity's. They look like puke!

You still can, as we actually can on P5WD2 mobos, since that caps are good for intel inbox cooler, and ninja has the same compatibility that inbox cooler in terms of "socket clearance". The caps keep down the retention ninja bracket.

[^don.k's^]

[asmozre]

Nice pic

[wforl]

whats the deal with processors and motherboards anyway, theres more than 3 times as many mobos as cpu's !!!!

newegg

amd, 296 mobos, 86 cpus
Intel, 273 mobos, 71 cpus

i gues its because theres only 2 cpu manufactures and about 20 mobo manufacturers, i dont know how you guys keep up with all the mobos

This comes in handy for people like me running PCIe NICs.. I do high bandwidth DC projects. By being able to split the load between 2 nics, allows better multitasking for other things.

thanks don.ks, that makes me feel a whole lot better.... i wanna OC a E6300 as much as possible on air (would get a E6600 but then i would have to get like a 1800GTO instead of a X1900XT :() Anyone kno when these boards will be available (mostly at newegg)?

[geforce man]

ill be keeping a very close eye on this thread :). ive got a pentium D coming that only cost me 100$, so im gonna use that temporarily, then sell it to my bro, but i dont want to have to buy/switch 2 mobo's, so im waiting till i have a for sure conroe board, until then, stupid pentium 4 2.4C.

Am I right in getting a mobo with an Intel chipset?
The last four mobo's I've had have all had a lot of quirks, and they where all based on NVIDIA (god I hate their GPU drivers) and ATI.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but OC'ing with these boards have not been pleasant at all (my PSU's have all been very stable).

yes, for sure! best configuration is Intel CPU + Intel Chipset. and the 975 is fully stable, so you're no "beta" tester ;)

well, you must keep in mind that the AM2 CPUs are available now, too. the Conroe not ;)

when Conroe is available there will be enough Mobos for everybody, not only eleven...

and actually, the Bad Axe is available, too.

that makes 2 vs 11, before the CPUs are released. I think that's better than only 11 with CPUs available.

One think I will miss of AMD is that they had a chipset for a long time. Intel always changing annoying.

Why does Asus go cheap on looks with the matx boards.:(
The board I'm looking for is for a micro powerhouse. With physics being an issue now, the perfect layout would involve a PCIe-1x slot above the PCIe-16x slot.

I thought I was set after evga made its dual PCIexpress matx board, but then intel had to come out with this ass kicking conroe chip.

What are the extra pin slot for? We need new psus?

[Helmore]

Those are the power slots Intel has been using for quite a while now, there isnt'much new about them.

Indeed, its a standard EPS12 connector. I didnt know intel used them on desktop boards, because the only place I've seen one was on my Xeon board.
You can use an adapter like this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=12%2D145%2D008%2D01%2Ejpg&CurImage=12%2D145%2D008%2D01%2Ejpg&Description=iStarUSA+6%22+4+%28male%29+pin+to+8+%2 8female%29+pin+ATX+EPS12V+Converter+Model+TC%2D4%2 F8+%2D+Retail)

My D955XBK uses that connector. Nothing new..

[Skyline GT-R]

FLMJIGGY which is that MSI board? Because I don'r recognise it...

[FLMJIGGY]

hi, it is the MS-7238

There really are a ton of boards. There seems to be more boards coming out for connie than there have been in the last 2 years for intel put together!!!


Is that pin convertyer necessary? Kind of like a 20-24 pin converter?

[Onepagebook]

I think Asus P5WDG2-WS has been available?

http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=110871&Category_Code=imb_775

[afireinside]

ASUS is making a new rev of the P5WD2-E and P5WDG2-WS to support conroe.

Anywhere to get a guaranteed 304 badaxe?

[Skyline GT-R]

OPB that board is indeed available, but it doesn't support Conroe ;) Asus made a new version called the P5WDG2-WS Pro ;) And the pro version is not available yet ;) And yes they are making a new revision of the P5WD2-E. Rev 1.03G with 8 phase power regulators. But i don't know about the P5WDG2-WS, but i don't think that one will support Conroe, it just gonna be replaced by the Pro i guess.

Thanks for the clear up!!:)

[MrGarrison]

Does any of the new 965 boards come without legacy ports? (PATA, FDD, Parallel and Serial)?

[The Stilt]

DFI Infinity 975X/G should be available in europe within few weeks.
The end-user price will be as high 230€+ (incl. 22% tax), even Infinity series is targeted to value / mainstream markets :rolleyes:

Let the hunt for rev. 1.03 P5WD2-E begin :D

[^don.k's^]

Let the hunt for rev. 1.03 P5WD2-E begin :D

QFT:D

BTW conroe's are listed in ingrammicro!!:eek: x6800@930€ aproximately:slobber:

[Skyline GT-R]

Let the hunt for rev. 1.03 P5WD2-E begin :D

Yes I will :D
I hope i'll find one soon :)

The DFI is way too expensive, but the P5W DH isn't priced too shabby, it's only about 200€ :) But the P5WD2-E looks better, I don't need that Digital home crap

[Shpoon]

So what seems to be the best bang for the buck mobo atm?

[Ad1tya]

I think the P5B and the Deluxe will be the boards to look at.

Shouldnt be all that expensive either. Hopefully :/.

[Makubex_GB]

IMO not unless the new rev of the P5WD2-E gets copper heatsinks with heatpipes too. ;)

I know the P5WDG2 WS Pro is getting copper heatsinks and the board looks wicked. The only problem is that the WS boards are very expensive too. :p:

[g.l.amour]

i'd say best bang for the buck would be the p5b if you're not into crossfire. slap some aftermarket heatsinks on the northbridge and mosfets and you're ready to go

[Andrewv]

P965 chipset is supports Conroe but the problem with mobo they dont have VR11 ?

[Shpoon]

Edit: Best bang for the buck 975 mobo...

Can't wait until a couple weeks when people start reviewing them.

[g.l.amour]

yeah, it would be nice to see some 965 reviews; seeing you can preorder them already that shouldn't be taking too long

[Skyline GT-R]

Yes indeed, I am realy waiting for some reviews between 975X and P965. But my guess is that the 975X is better. Because all the conroe premium boards are based on the 975X...

[FischOderAal]

and additionally, I don't think the best OC'ers weren't able to get a 965 Board... which only lead to one conclusion: 965 isn't faster

I don't think that the fact that 965 can't do Crossfire is the only reason why highclockers left it out...

in fact, for SuperPi you don't need CF ^^

[FLMJIGGY]

Soory I took so long but here is a pic... It's a 965 chips...

Thx, but's a P965 Platinum like i thought :) But i guess this is an early ES :) The name is printed between the PCIe x4 and the PCIe x1 :)

[zert]

FLMJIGGY, maybe a noob question but is there a place where i can find detailed pics of all those new boards :confused:

[Mikesnav]

ugh, sig pics.

I'm adblocking every one.


Am I the only one looking to buy the Gigabyte DS4?
Fantastic layout, features, and hopefully performance/OC'ability.

[Danger30Q]

I'm about to buy a Conroe 6700 ES but I'm really hoping there is another board I can buy besides the Bad Axe. Are any of the Asus or MSI Conroe-compatible boards coming out within the next 1-2 weeks? I noticed coolaler has a MSI 975 Platinum 2.B board that seems like quite a beauty but they don't seem to yet be available. I'd rather not buy a Bad Axe and then sell it in 1 month when better boards are released. Thanks.

I am doubtful that we will see too many before the July 23rd release. I would think the MSI and DFI are fairly good possibilities to show up in that time period though. I'd hold out as long as you don't have that Conroe in your hands :)

[Skyline GT-R]

I think the P965 boards will show up here and there. They are released and some stores have them in pre-order. Most of them will be available by the end of june ;)

[Dynasty]

Ok, from what I am understanding is an later revision to the
Asus P5WD2-E Prem. does in fact support Conroe.
I need an 975x to get crossfire going so for me its essential to look for an nice
solid 975x/conroe board.
I am grabbing an P5WD2-E with latest rev. and will post any and all findings.

;)

P5WDG2-WS Pro

what is the revision of this board that supports conroe?

[Ender17]

any version of the P5WDG2-WS Pro should support Conroe

the P5WDG2-WS (non Pro) is the one that's been out for a while and doesn't support Conroe

See the molex connector?
Do I NEED to use it?

Me hates Molex :slapass:

EDIT: Missed the pics that had been posted earlier on in this thread. Anyways I'll keep em so you see what I mean.

[Skyline GT-R]

No, only if you are planning to use 2 PCIe GPU's without their own power connector... And even then that molex is only there to make it more stable... But no you don't have to use it :)

Someone sticky this thread.

And clean out some of the old stickies, while you're at it :)

Intel section is going ALL OUT CONROE very shortly...Yeah it's time we stickied this thread!

BTW jrw, what's wrong with Denmark?

[theteamaqua]

i want dfi nforce 590

[geforce man]

man, i hope these boards come out soon, i have some good ram (pc2 6400 DDRII 800) and a pentium D 820, with a xp120 etc. to hold me over for a decent priced conroe (probably the 6600/6700) im just awaiting a good board to throw this all in, i dont need the best of the best, just something that will allow me to have 3Ghz on air with the conroe, and hopefully 3.6-4.0 on air with the pent. D. keep this thread up for updates etc. i need to know! :)

how can you tell if the P5WD2-E prem. is the newest revision from the box? i'm going to check them out at work tomorrow. they intel 975x rev. 304 so i'm hoping they have the newest asus ones

btw does anyone know if mp-05 will fit on that board? the mosfets look kind of close, dont' know how low they're though

Look at the board itself, if it has 8 phase power it should conroe compitable, and it should be rev 1.03G

[Poodle]

Could someone please post the power consumption of every chipset. From what I can see from the cooling on the Nforce5 it's still almost as hot as the Nforce4. The Ati Rd600 seems to be a kick ass efficient chipset. What's the tdp of the Intel chipsets?
